is expensive snubbing state health chief attacked by evans dr j a egan without stand ing says commissioner beneath notice retort shurtleff joins fight speaker writes city official long letter criticising tu berculin milk test speaker e d shurtieff of the Illinois legislature and dr w a evans health commissioner of Chicago came to a sharp ly defined issue inst night in their con troversy over the milk question they brushed aside personalities such as whether dr evans has any personal inter est in the milk industry and came to the question of whether the precautions dr evans has taken in the Chicago ordinances are just necessary or legal shurtlcff's challenge to dr evans wa 3 in a letter he wrote from springfield in reply to the health commissioner's denial that he is connected privately with the milk in dustry it will not be delivered to dr evans until this morning but a tele graphed copy was shown him and upon that dr evaus based his reply the shurtieff letter in part follows i have your letter of april 1 and i am very much embarrassed to find that any personalties have crept into the newspa pers growing out of the controversy over milk i am equally with yourself anx ious that the milk question should stand ou its merits and not be made a subject of personalities in any way nor a subject of politics - dairy interests agitated it is a fact as i view it that the dairy interests are greatly agitated many dairymen have consented to the tubercu lin test law growing out of the belief that they were compelled to do so to bad a market for their milk and from the fear that has arisen by the action taken by your board under the ordinances of the city of Chicago the contention of a number of the dairymen is that the ordinances under which you are acting are illegal unreason able and in violation of the state law if this were not so i find 111 the monthly bulletin of the Illinois state board of health the medical department of the state government under date of march 1968 an article in which it is stated dur ing 1907 there were 7,112 deaths from 1 tuberculosis in Illinois there were but twenty of these deaths attributable to abdominal tuberculosis in infants under one year of age and but twenty-five in children between the ages of one and five years it seems to be the theory of the state board of health of Illinois that tubercu losis is not convej-ed to infants and chil dren through the milk of the cow so that in my judgment before commencing a gen eral slaughter of the herds in northern Illinois it would be well to have this and other questions settled and of the least i importance is anything that relates to your personal business personal connections or motives i desire to take up the milk question in behalf of my constituents and have all of the actual facts ascertained and all the serious results that may possibly come from the use of milk made in northern Illinois determined and i shall ask for nothing in their behalf in the way of law from the state or ordinances from the city council of Chicago which these facts and results determined do not warrant and i shall not be diverted from the pur pose of this information to be drawn into any libel suits or the settlement of any questions that are not germane to this one issue i am very truly e . shurtleff evans would avoid personalities just say that i am with speaker shurt ieff entirely when he asks that this mat ter be settled without regard to politics or personalities dr evans said when shown a copy of the letter what he wants is what i want i am glad indeed that we have come to an issue on this basis as to speaker shurtleff's quotation from the bulletin of the state board of health they are entirely consistent with the attitude of that body it has always opposed every movement started in Chicago to protect health it is always against everything that makes for health nence its statements are entirely consistent as soon as i read mr shurtleff's quotations 1 judged they came from the state board of health and were written by a man who is without scientific standing among scientific people dr evans did not name the man hut he undoubtedly means dr j a egaii secretary of the state board of health in reply to dr evaus dr egan at springfield said such statements by dr evans are simply in line with other personal attacks by him they are char acteristic of the man and i have no com ment to make dr evans indicated he might have something more to say about the state board of health to-day chicago's certified milk business is now under investigation by professor clarence b lane assistant chief of the dairy divi sion of the department of aricuiture at washington and professor c h yates of the division of city milk supply dairy de partment university of Illinois what our health chiefs think of one another the state board of health says that only one-sixteenth of one per cent of tuberculosis are transmitted through cow's milk â€” speaker e d shurtleff the state board of health is agulnst anything that makes for health and the man who wrote that statement dr j a egran is with out scientific standing ur ff jl evaxs such remarks are characteristic of the man who made them and i have no reply to make dÃŸ j a egax edits future life out of gospels dr sharman of u of c de clares jesus never uttered teachings credited to him book issued by college declarations regarding im mortality and eternal punish ment called interpolations dr henry burton sharman instructor in biblical and patristic greek at the uni versity of Chicago has published on the university of Chicago press a book in which he disputes the authenticity of near ly every utterance attributed to jesus in the new testament dealing with eternal life coming from john d rockefeller's pet university the book is sure to create a profound sensation the title of it is the teaching of jesus about the fu ture dr sbarman says that testis did not promise eternal reward or eternal punish ment that he did not institute the lord's supper or the rite of baptism ; that he did not promise to come again in glory and power and that he never said there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth after a profound and oftentimes involved study of the three gospels matthew mark and luke in which bis attitude is that of the bcrmeneutist as well as the higher critic dr sharman gives it as his con clusion that virtually all of jesus supposed utterances regarding futurity as under stood in lis religious sense are mere ed itorial interpolations of the authors of the gospels discusses his assertions jesus did not promise eternal reward or eternal punishment said dr sharman in an interview last night summing up the conclusions to which his study has led him and which nre rather submerged in the an alysis of the book in all that he said and all that he taught ho was remarkably reticent on this point his anwser to the sadducees when they asked him if there was a resurrection after death i believe to be genuine but in that instance he specifica'lly stated that there was no resurrection of the body and that eternal life would not be life accord ing to our conception of the term matthew and luke were not produced i by eye witnesses but by men who utilized written material already in existence comparison shows that in many cases the reports of what jesus said have been affected by the thoughts of the age in which they were produced practically all the passages in the synoptic gospels that sketch the day of judgment can be shown by comparative study to be nongenuine utterances those passages in which jesus is re puted to have asserted that he would be present with his disciples after he had left the earth are apparently not from jesus but are the expression of the ex perience of the disciples and these experi ences may be otherwise explained than as due to jesus / utterances called spurious tin pages 205-0 of the book dr sharman gives a reconstruction of the final dis course of jesus in which he sets out in separate columns such portions of it as he considers interpolations or editorial utter ances here are some of the utterances which he sets down as spurious but first must he suffer many things and be rejected of this generation whosoever shall seek to gain his life shall lose it but whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it watch therefore for ye know not the day nor the hour and the gospel must first be preached unto ail the actions but he that mdureth to the end the same shaii be saved tuter thou into the joy of thy lord take ye heed watch and pray dr sharman declined to commit himself as to his views on the divinity of christ or on any other phase of his life and work not properly within the scope of

proffer wasn't accepted air harriman insists to-day upon the full round 1,500,000 the honest length and breadth of his claim thus the public will pay 500,000 that congress might snub mr roosevelt it is expensive snubbing state health chief attacked by evans dr j a egan without stand ing says commissioner beneath notice retort shurtleff joins fight speaker writes city official long letter criticising tu berculin milk test speaker e d shurtieff of the Illinois legislature and dr w a evans health commissioner of Chicago came to a sharp ly defined issue inst night in their con troversy over the milk question they brushed aside personalities such as whether dr evans has any personal inter est in the milk industry and came to the question of whether the precautions dr evans has taken in the Chicago ordinances are just necessary or legal shurtlcff's challenge to dr evans wa 3 in a letter he wrote from springfield in reply to the health commissioner's denial that he is connected privately with the milk in dustry it will not be delivered to dr evans until this morning but a tele graphed copy was shown him and upon that dr evaus based his reply the shurtieff letter in part follows i have your letter of april 1 and i am very much embarrassed to find that any personalties have crept into the newspa pers growing out of the controversy over milk i am equally with yourself anx ious that the milk question should stand ou its merits and not be made a subject of personalities in any way nor a subject of politics - dairy interests agitated it is a fact as i view it that the dairy interests are greatly agitated many dairymen have consented to the tubercu lin test law growing out of the belief that they were compelled to do so to bad a market for their milk and from the fear that has arisen by the action taken by your board under the ordinances of the city of Chicago the contention of a number of the dairymen is that the ordinances under which you are acting are illegal unreason able and in violation of the state law if this were not so i find 111 the monthly bulletin of the Illinois state board of health the medical department of the state government under date of march 1968 an article in which it is stated dur ing 1907 there were 7,112 deaths from 1 tuberculosis in Illinois there were but twenty of these deaths attributable to abdominal tuberculosis in infants under one year of age and but twenty-five in children between the ages of one and five years it seems to be the theory of the state board of health of Illinois that tubercu losis is not convej-ed to infants and chil dren through the milk of the cow so that in my judgment before commencing a gen eral slaughter of the herds in northern Illinois it would be well to have this and other questions settled and of the least i importance is anything that relates to your personal business personal connections or motives i desire to take up the milk question in behalf of my constituents and have all of the actual facts ascertained and all the serious results that may possibly come from the use of milk made in northern Illinois determined and i shall ask for nothing in their behalf in the way of law from the state or ordinances from the city council of Chicago which these facts and results determined do not warrant and i shall not be diverted from the pur pose of this information to be drawn into any libel suits or the settlement of any questions that are not germane to this one issue i am very truly e . shurtleff evans would avoid personalities just say that i am with speaker shurt ieff entirely when he asks that this mat ter be settled without regard to politics or personalities dr evans said when shown a copy of the letter what he wants is what i want i am glad indeed that we have come to an issue on this basis as to speaker shurtleff's quotation from the bulletin of the state board of health they are entirely consistent with the attitude of that body it has always opposed every movement started in Chicago to protect health it is always against everything that makes for health nence its statements are entirely consistent as soon as i read mr shurtleff's quotations 1 judged they came from the state board of health and were written by a man who is without scientific standing among scientific people dr evans did not name the man hut he undoubtedly means dr j a egaii secretary of the state board of health in reply to dr evaus dr egan at springfield said such statements by dr evans are simply in line with other personal attacks by him they are char acteristic of the man and i have no com ment to make dr evans indicated he might have something more to say about the state board of health to-day chicago's certified milk business is now under investigation by professor clarence b lane assistant chief of the dairy divi sion of the department of aricuiture at washington and professor c h yates of the division of city milk supply dairy de partment university of Illinois what our health chiefs think of one another the state board of health says that only one-sixteenth of one per cent of tuberculosis are transmitted through cow's milk â€” speaker e d shurtleff the state board of health is agulnst anything that makes for health and the man who wrote that statement dr j a egran is with out scientific standing ur ff jl evaxs such remarks are characteristic of the man who made them and i have no reply to make dÃŸ j a egax edits future life out of gospels dr sharman of u of c de clares jesus never uttered teachings credited to him book issued by college declarations regarding im mortality and eternal punish ment called interpolations dr henry burton sharman instructor in biblical and patristic greek at the uni versity of Chicago has published on the university of Chicago press a book in which he disputes the authenticity of near ly every utterance attributed to jesus in the new testament dealing with eternal life coming from john d rockefeller's pet university the book is sure to create a profound sensation the title of it is the teaching of jesus about the fu ture dr sbarman says that testis did not promise eternal reward or eternal punish ment that he did not institute the lord's supper or the rite of baptism ; that he did not promise to come again in glory and power and that he never said there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth after a profound and oftentimes involved study of the three gospels matthew mark and luke in which bis attitude is that of the bcrmeneutist as well as the higher critic dr sharman gives it as his con clusion that virtually all of jesus supposed utterances regarding futurity as under stood in lis religious sense are mere ed itorial interpolations of the authors of the gospels discusses his assertions jesus did not promise eternal reward or eternal punishment said dr sharman in an interview last night summing up the conclusions to which his study has led him and which nre rather submerged in the an alysis of the book in all that he said and all that he taught ho was remarkably reticent on this point his anwser to the sadducees when they asked him if there was a resurrection after death i believe to be genuine but in that instance he specifica'lly stated that there was no resurrection of the body and that eternal life would not be life accord ing to our conception of the term matthew and luke were not produced i by eye witnesses but by men who utilized written material already in existence comparison shows that in many cases the reports of what jesus said have been affected by the thoughts of the age in which they were produced practically all the passages in the synoptic gospels that sketch the day of judgment can be shown by comparative study to be nongenuine utterances those passages in which jesus is re puted to have asserted that he would be present with his disciples after he had left the earth are apparently not from jesus but are the expression of the ex perience of the disciples and these experi ences may be otherwise explained than as due to jesus / utterances called spurious tin pages 205-0 of the book dr sharman gives a reconstruction of the final dis course of jesus in which he sets out in separate columns such portions of it as he considers interpolations or editorial utter ances here are some of the utterances which he sets down as spurious but first must he suffer many things and be rejected of this generation whosoever shall seek to gain his life shall lose it but whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it watch therefore for ye know not the day nor the hour and the gospel must first be preached unto ail the actions but he that mdureth to the end the same shaii be saved tuter thou into the joy of thy lord take ye heed watch and pray dr sharman declined to commit himself as to his views on the divinity of christ or on any other phase of his life and work not properly within the scope of
